Plastic pollution in the environment poses significant challenges to ecosystem health and resource conservation. Effective monitoring through remote sensing requires innovative and scientifically robust methods. This master class offers an in-depth exploration of remote sensing techniques for detecting and quantifying plastic pollution in marine and terrestrial ecosystems.
